Revenge And Love Against My Mafia Ex-Husband
Chapter 76

Ximena couldn't move, she felt like she was drowning. For a moment she had faith that Angelo would appear out of nowhere to hit this guy, but that was unlikely, because they were nothing anymore. These mixed emotions triggered the tears to overflow. Erik saw them or felt them and stood up clutching his head with both hands, spun around like a model on a catwalk, ending up kneeling in front of her and pleading: -"I'm sorry Ximena, I misunderstood everything and I got carried away by desire. I thought you were playing hard to get, there are women who do that. Besides, you started it. I was already falling asleep when I felt her restless hands.

Ximena sat on the bed, covering herself with the sheets, wiped her tears with her hands, tried to look at him to answer him, but her sight was blurred by crying, she only said this:

-you're right, although that doesn't excuse your crazy behaviour. Although the truth is that I did want to, in part, but I still haven't forgotten Angelo. Sorry, but that's the truth, I think that one day I will forget him. I have to forget him and move on, keep fighting. Please forgive me.

Erik looked at her thoughtfully, he wanted to keep trying, to try to erase the memory of her ex-husband, the only thing that stopped him was the possibility of upsetting the poor girl who was going through very difficult times, in a way he felt he was being taken advantage of. He grabbed a blanket as he whispered to her:

-it's my fault, I shouldn't have thought I was cute, I know you see me as a friend, and if something had happened between us, you would have done it out of spite. As I've always been a fool, but a lucky fool. When I kissed you I touched the sky.

He lay down on the mat, his back to her. Ximena watched him for a long moment during which many thoughts went through her mind, she considered lying down next to him to finish what they had started, or that if she fell asleep he could take advantage of her. Almost everything she could think of had the same result, while the noise of love from the other rooms kept her awake.

At last Morpheus overpowered her, she plunged into deep dreams, where she had encounters with a man who sometimes was Angelo and sometimes was Erik, they were so strange, she even woke up and it seemed to smell like semen. She looked at the window, contemplated that it was night again, she forced herself to fall asleep again, even though the bed was already carving her, she looked for Erik and he was still asleep on the floor, although he seemed to look at her with a happy face.

A ray of light came through the window, which was like a golden ribbon that brought her back from the world of dreams. She opened her eyes and saw Erik standing in front of her, holding a silver tray with a glass of coffee, two fried eggs, some wholemeal biscuits and flowers on it.

Were you waiting for me to wake up? -Ximena confronted him, it was strange to see him standing there with breakfast, he looked like a mannequin.

-I just didn't know how to wake you up, besides, you looked so beautiful, sleeping. -Erik moved, she thought he looked like one of those men, a statue that dances when they are given coins.

-Anyway, thank you very much for the gesture. -Ximena received his breakfast, her stomach was crying out for it.

-It's nothing. What I do want to do is to apologise again for my behaviour last night. I just lost control. -Erik looked at the wall with his head down.

-It's okay, I understand, we should take it easy, I don't have the head for another relationship right now. I'm worried about the whereabouts of my children, my sister, my parents, even my crazy friend. -Ximena ate more quickly, she had to get out of the country and replace out about her loved ones.

-When I went to get breakfast, I saw on the television that the international police had occupied all of Angelo's family's property and had also captured several members of his family, including grandfather Joseph. Apparently that operation at the party was planned to capture her husband, or one of his associates, they didn't say anything about looking for you, -Erik, had considered not telling her this, it was Ximena's worried face that made him sprout this news.

-In that case, let's go, let's get everyone together and leave this country for Colombia. -Ximena imagined herself in a cowboy hat riding a plane.

They left the place, dressed in their normal clothes, they took a taxi to the house where her parents were, there were also her sister and the beautiful Mia, who were very worried about her whereabouts, they greeted her with a hug and Emily exclaimed: -You have wet hair, you were in a motel and we were so worried.

Wow, you're getting better fast, even I can't do that. -Mia scoffed, adding laughter.

Inside the house, there were some policemen, who were breaking everything, looking for evidence or something to incriminate them, their parents were already tired of preventing them from doing it, besides they were worried about Ximena's whereabouts, and when they saw her they also hugged her without questioning her, her mother told her what she most wanted to know:

-Hello daughter, your children are very well, they are asleep. We thought you had been captured, we are glad to see you well.

Her father complemented her, something that seemed to have been taken out of his mind, "my heart, we must leave immediately for Colombia, I don't trust this city. Old Joseph seems to have more power than the President himself.

They were surrounded by several soldiers of the elite corps, pointing rifles at them, and shouting, "Senora Ximena, Senora Ximena, you have to leave immediately for Colombia, I don't trust this city,

-Mrs. Ximena, you are under arrest, you have to come with us, for goodness sake.

They handcuffed her, she began to cry, begging them to please let her say goodbye to her children, the police seemed deaf, they only listened to the lawyer that she hated so much, who arrived screaming, tired like those fat dogs when they run, in his hands he was shaking some papers that he handed to the captain, saying to him:

-You can't take her away, she has nothing to do with Don Angelo, besides that gentleman, my client, was apparently neutralised by a commando of mercenaries. I bet you already knew, I don't know the reason for coming to bother this lady, it was enough that her wedding had been ruined.
